WHAT DOES FARRUCA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Farruca

Farruca is a form of flamenco music. It is a light form typical of cante chico, and is traditionally danced only by men. It is said to be invented in the 19th century by a dancer named Faico; others who stylized and expanded farruca included Antonio de Bilbao. Ramirez, Manolito la Rosa, El Batato and Rafaela Valverde, and La Tanguera. Other sources indicate that Farruca originated in Galicia, a region in northern Spain. Although there are female flamenco dancers who exclusively danced farruca too, these female dancers originally danced the farruca wearing male clothing. Farruca is seldom sung. The farruca is commonly played in the key of A minor, with each compás equivalent to 2 measures of 4/4 time with emphasis on the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th beats: 2 4 6 8 The dance often has fast turns, quick intense footwork, held lifts and falls, dramatic poses and bursts of filigrana. It can also be danced with a cape.
